A Midweek "Diversion"

Back to the Fracture Clinic at Tameside Hospital today – probably the thought of doing this brought back a few bad memories from late last year and no doubt contributed to my general “state of mind” yesterday evening / night ……

This time however, the “small boy” wound is self-inflicted – a broken big toe whilst negotiating the fearsome ……stairs !! Clinic 10 in the bowels of the hospital was a pretty depressing place to spend a morning – fortunately a 1015 appointment was done and dusted by 1055, which was a pretty good turnaround.

Getting the bus back to Mossley though, nearly made me turn around and call in sick mind - £2-30 – yes £2-30 - from Hospital to Mossley Station – and I thought Dick Turpin was long dead – my Cheap Day Return on the train from Mossley to Cheadle Hulme today only cost me three quid !! You can certainly see why buses are awash with old people and kids …. and trains are just awash ….

Some good football last night – the injury late on (which necessitated an ambulance) cast a bit of a damper on proceedings, but the Fleece were well worth the win in the end.
And so to tonight’s game – will Red Square resemble Piccadilly Gardens on a bad Wednesday night ?? Will it be 0-0/Extra Time/Penalties ?? Will Giggs break the record ?? Will I watch the game ?? Will Scarlett or Will Smith ??
